Goodwin Recruiting Partnership Opportunity

This is a business you own, not a job we're filling. Goodwin Recruiting partners are independent business owners who build and run their own recruiting practices on Goodwin's platform. Goodwin funds the tools, the business launch, and the infrastructure. You run the desk, and no one caps what it earns.

If you recruit at an agency today, here's the honest comparison. You already do this work. At your firm, the percentage was set before you arrived, it tops out no matter how much you bill, and someone else sets your desk, your territory, and your targets. Going solo would fix that, but it means funding your own tools, legal, and accounting before you bill a dollar. This is the middle ground: Goodwin funds the tools and runs the back office, the billing, the collections, the admin, so those setup costs never land on you. Own the desk, choose your lane, drop the ceiling.

The model, stated plainly. This is a 100% commission business. You keep roughly half of everything you bill, with no tiers to climb and no cap to hit. Your income potential is unlimited. You'd be self-employed, what the IRS calls a 1099 independent contractor: no W-2, no withholding. No salary. No benefits. You own the desk, choose your lane, drop the ceiling.

What Goodwin funds:

• A full LinkedIn Recruiter RPS+ seat with 140 InMails a month
• Training, mentorship, and a partner community of 300+
• The recruiting tech platform and marketing support
• Billing, collections, and the administrative back office

Fair question: is this legit? Yes. No buy-in. No inventory. No downline. You earn when clients hire the people you place. Goodwin Recruiting was founded by Eric Goodwin in 1999 and has been built on relationships and integrity for 27 years, with more than 300 active partners across a dozen industries.

"I'd tell them it's been one of the best career decisions I've ever made, but they need to understand what they're signing up for. This isn't a 9-to-5 where someone hands you a paycheck every two weeks. You're building your own business, and what you get out of it is directly tied to what you're willing to put into it." David Fettes, Partner, Hospitality Operations, 4 years

Who does well here:

• Experienced agency, search firm, and independent recruiters
• Self-directed, disciplined producers ready to treat this like the business it is
• Specialized in a vertical outside hospitality? The lanes are open
• If you're looking for a salaried recruiting role with benefits, this isn't it, and that's by design.
